How do I abandon modern living? How to get good at foraging and carpentry so I can build a comfy cabin in Appalachia and get away from the crazy modern world bros. Where do I start?
Bump
This is a slow board, you don't need 5o bump threads.
I feel you Anon. I want to do the same thing but in the Carpathians. My plan is to find a ghost town or ghost village that is overgrown and use that as a base of operations. The last place globohomosexual would come knocking is an abandoned village.
I am currently learning how to identify wild edibles, mushrooms mostly and getting into archery (obviously for sport). Trapping is something that I have yet to master (obviously for sport too, trapping is illegal).
I don't know if it's going to work this being Europe, but I'm open to any suggestions from other anons. This is just my two cents on how I am planning on doing it.
>I don't know if it's going to work this being Europe
If you keep on being a cuck about muh laws then no, it's not gonna work
It sounds great until the UN kicks in your door and kills you because you wanted to have a fire at your comfy cottage.
I am not a cuck, it's just that my country has a lot of laws about conspiracy to commit really anything, including poaching.
I'm no cuck, I just don't say stupid shit on the internet.
lol. You have obviously never seen an overgrown village, the only things that come there are bears, wolves and foxes. All of which would make for a great meal.
You're 2 years too late it's quite literally full now. Full of moronic transplants that have skyrocketed the cost of living and ruined the tranquility
2 years? lmao the place has been lousy with scots-irish for hundreds of years and all the good trees got cut before you were born
kys transplant
Transplants from where? I thought people didn't want to live in the south because muh racist hillbillies.
Son of a b***h this shits depressing.
Been wanting to get out of Florida, the state has been taken over by New Yorkers, and tourists. There is a new house or suburb popping up everywhere you go. Our gun laws are mediocre at best, and the state is full of Rhinos that aren’t actually pro gun. No open carry unless hunting/fishing/camping. No shooting in WMAs or state/federal forests. A lot of the hiking spots are shitty because private property is scattered everywhere in and around public land. And it's not like you can simply avoid them because of how many private spots there are in some places.
Unless you are really into water related stuff, FL is a shitty PrepHole state. And even if you ignore some of the outdoors and gun related downsides, the real estate market has gone insane, and unless you are willing to spend a few hundred thousand for less than 50 acres with shitty soil in a shitty location, you won’t be able to buy any land.
My hope was to move to Appalachia, or out west. Somewhere where there are good gun laws, and good places to hike, hunt, decent land prices, and a good place to do general outdoors shit. And from what I’ve read here and other places almost every desirable state has been fricked over,
>Appalachia been fricked by new englanders
> Idaho, Oregon, Washington been fricked over by Calibros
>Arizona in the process of being fricked over + no water
>Florida, Texas, North Carolina (somewhat), fricked over by Calibros and New Yorkers
>Utah many transplants, and real estate going batshit
>Wyoming too cold, too windy (good for y'all, maybe that will keep people out)
>Utah many transplants, and real estate going batshit
That's every state on the western half of the US right now. The horde is spilling out of California like evil pours out of Pandora's box. Good luck trying to buy a house these days.
That’s unfortunate. The outflow of people from the big cities is really hurting the entire country.
I’ve lost all hope for FL. Rural FL used to be great, and walking around in the swamps is pretty fun. Sure we never had as good PrepHole activities, and gun laws as other states, but it was still decent. But now that the influx of people has really taken off, the bad outweighs the good.
Most land seems to be overpriced no matter which area of the state you look. Even North FL and the Panhandle are suffering, not as much as South FL, but it’s still bad.
I’ve lost all interest in staying here, and as soon as I can save enough cash, I’ll head elsewhere to take my chances in a flyover state. Even if whichever state that ends up being is facing similar issues and population increases, as long as it's not as bad as FL or TX, it will have to do.
Good luck anon, just don't vote for the same shit that destroyed Cali, and don't try to change the culture of you new area.
Good luck meant for
Same boat, Florida's real estate is insane where I live. Friend of mine spent months just looking for a affordable apartment, and I have no hope of finding something decently rural unless I have a lot of cash.
Don't most people move out of Appalachia? It's not full.
Appalachia as a defined region has over 26 million people at a density of about 128 people per square mile. It's been full for over a century and is only getting fuller.
Read more. We live in a period of time where there is no excuse to not teach yourself what you want to know. Pick up some books on local plants and wildlife in the region you’re interested in then start going outside and trying to find them. You need to do this for an entire year so you can become familiar with how the seasons can affect what things look like, where they grow, what grows etc.
As far as woodworking, I took some classes at a local community college after work to learn basic carpentry skills and once I got some tools from my dads old shop I downloaded some pdfs on log working in the chance I’d ever wanna try building more permanent shelters. Obviously a cabin is the ideal but you can get away with long term living in much simpler shelters.
You’re never going to do any of this though. It’s a admirable idea but I think it’s a prerequisite for guys in their late teens-20’s to have this “gtfo and go in the woods” fantasy. Honestly move to a rural area, try to find a job and you’d be amazed at some of the communities you can find still spread out in this country where folks are friendly but they’ll leave you the frick alone. But hey if you’re serious like the 1000s of posts here saying the same exact shit then all the best.
Also buy a gun
inbred appalachian mountain monkey here, stay away, were full. Too many rich, young, spoiled yankee doodle's have this fantasy of "comfy innawoods mountain cabin", move here, and then complain about the locals being "trailer trash".
tl;dr FRICK OFF WERE FULL
The locals are subhuman. It's Appalachia, dude. You ever seen Deliverance?
the most defective barely verbale dregs of London got sent to the colonies as indentured servants, they escaped or got thrown out by their buyers and they scurried off to the hills, where they spent 200 years keeping their sewage genes pure by repetitive sibling fricking, there's a reason they use them as horror media inspiration.
I'm going to move to Appalachia and comfymaxx and you can't stop me.
True?
My gf and I are moving out to an 80 acre property in Arkansas from shit socal in 2 days. We are both very outdoorsy and have tractors and tools. Wish me luck boys!
At 7% interest, you aren't going anywhere unless your house has wheels. Stay put, learn how to reload ammo. Spicy times are coming fast.
0. get money, AKA a job
1. buy property
2. move there
3. develop whats needed over time while living PrepHole
this isn't complicated. for basics you need to bring at least a few weeks of food and good camping gear for while you make a more permanent setup.
I'm not corrupt.
being developmentally disabled is a form of corruption.
just admit you'll never really do it and are larping. it's ok. most people ultimately live really pathetic uninteresting lives. very few people are willing to make the efforts required to achieve even their small goals like owning some innawoods.
If you get a job maybe your parents would stop threating to kick you out.
>How to get good at foraging and carpentry so I can build a comfy cabin
First you need to be taught the accumulated wisdom of your community since childhood.
Lmao Appalachia, the next house over will be 100 yards away
